Anyone tried this one yet?

What sets this apart from the others like GK and Carvin is the downloadable effect, which I'm assuming could be reverb. Quilter has the Problock with reverb on board, but the EQ seems a little squirrly and its twice the price.

The downloadable effects are bass-guitar related. The ad says - "Choose from chorus, flanger, vibrato, compression, drive, or even a super-cool octaver effect." No mention of reverb, though.
I like the fact that there's a headphone output for silent practice - don't all wives/families demand that as a 'sine qua non' for an amplifier purchase??

I downloaded the tone print app just to get a lay of the land. It doesn't look like the effects you are able to download are limited by the product you buy. I assume that TC listed those effect because they are the most typical for bass. I will email TC though and get back with a real answer.

I checked with TC. Bummer...no reverb or delay available on this head through tone print. Sorry for the false alarm.

i use one Rick and really like it.It pushes two 15" black widows easily and very clean.i use the chorus effect,i use it sparingly so it sounds as good as most stomp boxes,i use a holy grail reverb with it and one of Brad Sarno's freeloaders which did a lot for the tone,i tried the same amp in the 8oo watt range and it sounded terrible but i like this one.I bought it originally to keep in the vehicle as a spare and the first night i had it i needed it and have kept it ever since,it replaced a nashville 400 which i never did love very much...
